It's amazing how fast Turkey Vultures will clean up something. I had a large dead catfish in the floating in the pond and flung it up on shore. The Turkey Vultures went to work on it almost immediately and withing 2-3 hours it was gone - not even any bones left. The next day I was taking a break next to the pond just soaking up the sun and looked up and had two Vultures in the sky above me turning circles and eyeballing me. I felt like that scene in the Monty Python movie I felt compelled to yell "I'm not dead yet."
